The ultimate ultralight home from home
A lot of ultralight shelters seem roomy enough – but by the time you’ve stashed all your kit inside, unrolled your mat and sleeping bag, and then climbed in, you suddenly seem pretty cramped. Big Agnes’ Copper Spur HV UL has been specifically engineered to overcome that problem. It is an ultralight, free-standing four-season tent that utilises a high-volume design to ensure ample living space. Twin awning-style vestibules also turn your flysheet doors into useful gullwing canopies, which is great for fending off drizzle or providing some welcome shade from the blazing sun.
- Two doors and two vestibules with awning-style doors, fitted with double-zippers
- TipLok Tent Buckles make pitching easy and secure, with a hinged design that stabilises the structure by equalizing force between tent body, rainfly, and ground stake
- Ultralight nylon double rip-stop, mixed denier fabric offers extra tear strength and puncture resistance without adding weight
- Pre-bent span pole with 4-way high-volume hub design increases strength, stability, and wind shedding ability
- All seams fully taped for reliable waterproofing
- Reduced condensation with dual low-vent vestibule doors and high fly vent to maximize active and passive airflow
- Smooth-closing, dual-zipper doors with easy-grip pulls allow for ease of entry, exit and quick, reach-through access
- Quick Stash door-keeper makes stowing unzipped doors quick and easy
- Velcro tabs connect fly to pole structure providing perfect pitch and extra stability; pre-cut guylines and tensioners attached to fly; reflective guylines and webbing on tent corners make it easy to see at night
- Multiple interior loops for attaching gear lofts, tent lanterns and other accessories

Big Agnes is a small, independent US outdoor brand out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado – a small ski-town that we’ve never visited but which we like to imagine is full of mountain-loving, trail-hiking outdoorsy types. That would make sense, since the company makes some of the best ultralight backpacking gear around, including the award-winning Copper Spur, Tiger Wall and Fly Creek tents. It is kit that has clearly been designed by a gang of folks who love sleeping in the dirt just as much as we do here at WildBounds.
Oh, and if you’re still wondering where the heck that name Big Agnes comes from, we did try to find out. Depending on who you talk to, it’s either an affectionate tribute to a legendary truck drivin’ mountain mama, or a 12,000 foot peak in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. We kinda like the first one better.
